Curiosities: Even More Interesting Pictures. The human tongue

Human tongue surface, coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM). The tongue is covered in many backward facing projections called filiform papillae, which sense pressure. The papillae have a scaly appearance because they are constantly shedding their top layer of skin. Credit: SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY You're never going to want to french kiss again! ! LOL

The tropical glass tree frogs (or glassfrogs) are frogs of the amphibian family Centrolenidae (order Anura). While the general background coloration of most glass frogs is primarily lime green, the abdominal skin of some members of this family is translucent. The internal viscera, including the heart, liver, and gastrointestinal tract, are visible through this translucent skin, hence the common name.

Glass Frog The glass frog is a fascinating little creature. While most of the frog’s body is lime green, the abdominal skin is translucent. Most of the internal organs, including the heart, liver, and gastrointestinal tract are visible through its translucent skin. The glass frog is also very small in size, ranging from 3 to 7 cm.

SO COOL!! From Central and South America, glass frogs are translucent. This type of camouflage makes the animal nearly invisible or look like a bump on a leaf. Some even have green bones to really sell the invisibility act to predators!
